Tributes to Cormac McCarthy by two great but different institutions that shape me. His "Operating Principles" for the @sfiscience. And an essay at @commonwealmag, first published in 2016: commonwealmagazine.org/corma…
Cormac McCarthy’s Moral Imagination

Cormac McCarthy’s Moral Imagination

Critics have described Cormac McCarthy as a writer beyond good and evil. But beneath the neuter austerity of McCarthy’s prose, a keen moral imagination is at work.

Lots to like about this piece. Attention to early uses of polarization in other fields (physical and natural sciences!) and re-tethering it to early politics and political science lends it great validity.

What is political polarization? It is more than a clash of ideologies or identities. It is a breakdown of basic democratic trust -- the end of democracy as “the only game in town.” Online first, open access: Rethinking Political Polarization doi.org/10.1093/psquar/qqad0…

At what age (on average) do you imagine that money starts leaving your Venmo account faster than it enters? With 2 20somethings and a teen with a new Pixel, I'm definitely on the net deficit side of this equation.

I'm fully in on this, disciplinary incentives be damned. My post-tenure life of reading broadly is so much richer than my pre-tenure life of trying to satisfy subfield peers.

Intellectual promiscuity is sorely under-valued. Reading widely is - in truth - the only way to understand anything rigorously. Here are four excellent books I’d recommend to my Leftist friends.

I'm getting my world cup updates from the NYT. Help.
Great visit by @kmmunger to Notre Dame, elaborating on this paper into the normative case for the US to ban TikTok. I counted faculty from at least 7 departments in the room.
